Hello everyone,
This is my first post, so please remove it if it's inappropriate for this board.
In most schools of Japanese swordsmanship, it's normal for the kashira to align with the bottom (or end) of the user's palm. But what is the case with handachi fittings?
Obviously, there are longer and shorter, smoother and rougher handachi kashira, but what is the general consensus / historic usage? In case of a longer kashira, the ura and omote knots could negatively impact the tenouchi if the left palm would grip the tsuka at the bottom of the kashira.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
